Avoid steep turns at low altitude
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,693 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 313 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Mostar International Airport, LQMO. This process took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 15, with a takeoff distance of 1,263 meters, which is 53% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 170°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile west of Blagaj, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the aircraft climbed from 1,235 feet above sea level to 35,379 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,144 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 127 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile northeast of Stijena, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 118 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 2 miles northwest of Sankt Kanzian, Austria, and descended from 35,648 feet above sea level to 33,601 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,047 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started 2 miles west of Kappel am Krappfeld, Austria, and the aircraft climbed from 33,715 feet above sea level to 35,462 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,747 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile southeast of Sankt Lambrecht, Austria, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 52 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile south of Sankt Konrad, Austria, and the aircraft descended from 35,681 feet above sea level to 28,053 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,628 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 35 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north of Diersbach, Austria, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 39 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 2 miles west of Wallersdorf, Germany, and the aircraft descended from 28,063 feet above sea level to 9,281 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,782 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 56 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 2 miles northwest of Berching Airfield, Germany, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 2 miles northeast of Hilpoltstein, Germany, and the aircraft descended from 9,281 feet above sea level to 8,327 feet above sea level, a decrease of 954 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started overhead Rednitzhembach, Germany, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 2 miles northeast of Dietenhofen, Germany, and the aircraft descended from 8,301 feet above sea level to 5,476 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,825 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 2 miles north of Wendelstein, Germany, and lasted for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The enroute
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Nuremberg Airport (EDDN) with a score of 97.9%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 280.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,286 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft then landed on runway 28, which has a length of 2,693 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. The threshold speed was also good, at 134 knots, which is a suitable speed for landing. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits, measuring 315 meters, and the touchdown speed was 132 knots, although it was slightly faster than ideal.
However, the touchdown rate was reported as hard, at -424 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly rough landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway as it touched down. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 0°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
The total landing distance was 1,124 meters, which is 42% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to land smoothly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway as it rolled out after landing. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft landing safely and efficiently on runway 28 at Nuremberg Airport.
